[Rick and Roll]

I'm not familiar with Mars Volta but I will try.....

Our friend Zvinki from Montreal is a big Tool fan (as you will see by his avatar when he replies). I'm sure he will have some words on the subject.

I like Tool for the music - it's moving, and interesting, especially as they become more mature. Lateralus and Aenima are just awesome.

All that said, I'm not sure they're a match here. Although there is less proggier stuff on the playlist, I don't know. Not really in line with the general "theme".

these "tweener" bands are great fodder for discussion.....
